Photographers' Formulary 1gal Gum Arabic (Liquid)

Take your photography to the next level with the Photographers' Formulary Gum Arabic (Liquid). This essential product is a staple in Bichromate printing, a technique favored by photographers for its unique ability to enhance color intensity and add a glossy finish to dried ink.

Gum Arabic, a natural product derived from the Acacia tree, acts as a barrier, slowing down the absorption of ink into the paper. This allows the ink to dry more on the surface, resulting in a more vibrant and intense color payoff. Not only does it enhance the color, but it also imparts a glossy sheen to the dried ink, adding an extra dimension to your prints.

Historically, Gum Arabic was the foundation of the gum bichromate process, a technique that gained popularity among pictorialist photographers around the turn of the 20th century. Today, it's experiencing a resurgence among modern photographers and artists, particularly those interested in creating handmade photographic papers.

Whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist, the Photographers' Formulary Gum Arabic (Liquid) is a must-have for your toolkit. Its unique properties can help you achieve richer, more vibrant prints, taking your artwork to new heights.
